code review 3996047: runtime: remove tiny

runtime: remove tiny

It is unmaintained and untested, and I think it's broken too.
It was a toy to show that Go can run on real hardware,
and it served its purpose.

The source code will of course remain in the repository
history, so it could be brought back if needed later.

Sad to see this go, but for people interested in Go running on raw
hardware there is still the fork at http://code.google.com/p/tinygo/
and GoFY is coming (randomly) along: http://code.google.com/p/gofy/
